Tech Cafe / BarCampMilwaukee2 Planning Meeting — Saturday, August 18th, 2007 — 9am

Bucketworks
1340 North Sixth Street

A Tech Cafe is an informal geek gathering focused around a single tech topic. The Tech Cafe topic for Aug 18 is BarCampMilwaukee2 planning. Plus we'll have some general tech talk, including maybe some discussion of future Tech Cafes and DemoCircuit.

Wiring Bucketworks — Saturday, September 1st, 2007 — 9am

Bucketworks
1340 North Sixth Street
Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Brad is going to be leading the team at Bucketworks for the final push to get the wiring done.

If you have any networking supplies you'd like to donate or if you just want to lend a hand (I hear Brad is a great project manager :D ), meet us to help get Bucketworks ready for BarCampMilwaukee2!

Bring a flashlight if you have one and clothes you don't mind getting dirty and sweaty in.

Thanks to everyone that can lend a hand!

The Brady Corp. Conference Room (MSOE)
1235 N. Milwaukee St.
Milwaukee, WI 53202
Room R-101

(EDIT: Espresso Christoph was closed when I went there at 6, so I headed over to Mykonos. - Ashe)
Note that we will be meeting at MSOE from 8PM to 10PM for the regular meeting, but will also be meeting at 6pm at Espresso Christoph pre-dinner and at 7pm at Mykonos for dinner.

For September we'd like to do something a little different. With all the new members, we thought it would be good to go around the room and have everyone show something they've recently worked on, or are currently working on. It could be your own site, work you are doing for someone else, or maybe just something you find inspiring.

There is also a good chance we will talk about the planning for BarCampMilwaukee2.

Web414 has been instrumental in the planning of BarCampMilwaukee2, and since the date of this meeting falls right before BarCamp, we decided we would do one final push to get the venue ready. For the full scoop on BarCampMilwaukee2 happenings, visit barcampmilwaukee.com, make sure you've signed up, and watch this space for updates.

(We will return to our normal 2nd Thursday monthly meetings in November 2007. The subject will most likely be wrapping up BarCampMilwaukee2.)

November 2007 Web414 Meeting — Thursday, November 8th, 2007 — 6pm/7pm

This meeting will happen in two parts. The first part will be a dinner at 6:00 PM at Chipotle near MSOE where the organizers of BarCampMilwaukee2 will discuss how the event went. What worked, what didn't, what we have left to do, etc. If you were involved in the planning and organizing, we really want you there. Anyone is welcome to come, but the focus will be on wrapping up BarCampMilwaukee2.

We plan to finish dinner before 7:00 PM and then move over to MSOE for the actual Web414 meeting. The topic will most likely be the larger picture of BarCampMilwaukee2 from the perspective of participants. What did you learn? What did you share? We'd also like to discuss DrupalCampWisconsin planned for January 2008, and any other issues at hand. (Gabe say he will have an actual agenda. Yay for Gabe!)
